Senior Taliban spokesman told the U.K.’s Sky News on Monday that the United States and its ally Britain will face “consequences” if they seek to extend their military presence in Afghanistan to ensure the safe evacuation of their citizens.
American President Joe Biden announced this summer that he would withdraw all American troops from the country by August 31. Biden had previously announced in April that the withdrawal would end on September 11, the 20th anniversary of the jihadist attacks that prompted the Afghan War. Both dates were a significant extension of the war from the set withdrawal date under former President Donald Trump, who brokered a deal with the Taliban that would have seen a full American military exit by May 1.
The Taliban followed Biden’s extension of the war – and his choice to break the agreement Trump brokered with the jihadist organization – with a nationwide campaign to overthrow the now-former government of Afghanistan. The campaign culminated with Taliban terrorists surrounding the country’s capital, Kabul, on August 15, prompting former President Ashraf Ghani to abruptly flee the country.
Taliban leaders now control nearly all of Afghanistan, excepting a small pocket of resistance in north-central Panjsher province, which the jihadists claimed on Monday they had surrounded and would soon control.
Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen discussed the current situation in Kabul – where thousands are attempting to reach the airport to avoid being under Taliban rule – with the U.K.’s Sky News, denying that the crowds feared for their safety under the radical Islamist terrorist group. The desperation to flee Taliban rule has prompted multiple deaths in and around the Kabul airport resulting from stampedes and deliberate violence. Eyewitnesses have also reported extensive violence against civilians on the part of Taliban thugs outside the airport, reports the Pentagon confirmed

Yeah. The consequence is finding some generals who can plan a few air raids on strategic targets that will cause the Taliban a world of hurt.
He has already tucked his tail. Now he will run. But yeah he is representing us. If Trump was in office we would be dropping bombs on the talibans leaders heads as we speak.

Joe plays checkers...
Taliban is ‘Trumping’ the cowardly lyin’ president.
Biden (hands shaking visibly):
For once I admit I was wrong. I just said “please” and forgot “pretty please” to the Taliban guy on the phone.
Generals? Generals aren't interested in causing the Taliban a world of hurt. They're too busy hating Americans.
Not to worry. Biden will begin wrapping things up come Thursday or Friday.
Joe Birdbrain and Cackling Kamala have turned the White
House into an international chicken coop.
The pentagon needs to strike across the river.
Biden is an agent for enemies of the USA and its Constitution.
You don’t need to know anything about strategy if you can just master woke or talk like you have mastered woke.

Hey that's pretty good.
It’s not about the Taliban. It’s about getting that hated Trump out of American politics so the adults can run things again even if the adults are crazy, silly or senile.
None of this is an accident.
When states start decertifying their election results it won’t matter much if the United States has been taken over by China.
In a parallel universe and when pigs fly…
I don’t think Trump would be dropping bombs.
Because he would have orchestrated an orderly, well planned, strategic draw down coordinated with our allies.
Not this unprecedented CF the Biden administration created.
Don’t be surprised if the Taliban declares Americans still in the country after the 31st to be “prisoners of war.”
